Spring That Never Ends

ਸਦਾ ਬਸੰਤੁ ਗੁਰ ਸਬਦੁ ਵੀਚਾਰੇ ॥
sadaa basant gur sabad veechaaray.
Contemplating the Word of the Guru's Shabad, one is in spring forever,
ਰਾਮ ਨਾਮੁ ਰਾਖੈ ਉਰ ਧਾਰੇ ॥੩॥
raam naam raakhai ur Dhaaray. ||3||
with the Lord's Name enshrined in the heart. ||3||

Translation by Dr. Sant Singh Khalsa

In plain words

Thinking on the Guru's Word, a person lives in spring forever,

keeping the Naam of the One held close in the heart.

A heart rooted in the Name stays green all year.
The deeper layer

Keep thinking on the Guru's Word, and your spring never ends.

Sadaa basant: spring forever. Gur sabad veechaaray: thinking on the Guru's Word. Ur dhaaray: held in the heart, like an evergreen root.

A Question to Sit With

What helps you stay hopeful even in your winter days?
